Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
REVELATION
Today I woke to find
That in vain I use my mind
I spew the venom in my veins
And find delight
In a line, just right
That moment soon passes:
The words etched on paper
Turn to simple words again
What is poetry not read
But mere words on simple paper
That neither tickles the brain
Nor awakens the conscience
To unfelt tides
That shaken tranquil hearts
Into deeper emotion
And understanding
Of the daily monotonous chaos
Engraved in our lives
Poetry frees my mind!
